I've shot the first bow and it is a sweet shooter.  Very smooth, very stable.  I would call it a solid, reliable performer. Beautiful Bacote and the black glass sets it off nice.  The pics don't do it justice.

The handle is very nice and would probably satisfy both recurve and longbow shooters.  It's low enough to make the bow seem light in the hand like a longbow, but shaped for a very positive recurve feel in the grip.

You can stop putting photo's on any time, I have already received one of my purchases this month, and I should get my second Friday, there's just no more room    :banghead:  


Great-looking bows, and I bet they shoot just as fine as they look.

Mike, looking forward to it.  I hope I can your do your work justice on this end.  I went out and shot a couple of longbows I did just to reassure myself.  When we look at these photos and the ones on your web page, at least we know what we are trying to achieve, it will be fun making saw dust again.  Mikey is still pretty excited about this.
